Miscarriage - Denver,CO

Hi C.,

Go to the doctor and confirm everything. A loss of blood like that can have complications. The doctor is there to advise you. You still have a choice to go through the process naturally if you deem it's safe after talking to the doctor.

I'm so sorry for your loss...

I've had four miscarriages and that's exactly what it sounds like to me. Call your doctor and explain the situation. They may just let nature take it's coarse. A d&c should not be necessary so early on in a pregnancy.

Call the doctor. They probably need to reschedule your appointment until you're done bleeding, and then they'll check that everything cleared properly. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how hard that is. We've been through it several times. I hope this goes quickly and next time is smoother.

Hey C.,

I would definitely keep your appointment with your doctor. They will be able to help make sure you are healthy and that your body is recovering well. They will also be able to talk with you about how you feel and what to do next, and they can help you deal with the loss in a safe and healthy way.

Please go!

Hang in there too babe - sometimes stuff like this happens and there is just no acceptable explanation for it. I cringed for you when I read for post, as I'm sure a lot of other people have too.

Lots of love and condolences,
Amy

theres nothing the hospital can do for you unless you loose too much blood then they just moniter your blood pressure.

I know it's a sad and confusing time for you, but you need to make sure that there is nothing else going on that could complicate future pregnancies so you really do still need to make an appt with your OB as soon as possible. Just like giving birth, you are at risk of blood clots as well as hemorrhaging. Also, she can tell you if there is something going on that may have caused the miscarriage in the first place.

C., I'm so sorry to hear of what you are going through. I went through the same thing last fall at about the same stage. Sounds like you did have a miscarriage. You'll probably still be passing blood for about a week. You can call your doctor, but most like for nature to run it's course these days & only do a D&C if medically necessary. Mine just had me come in for consecutive HCG tests a week apart until the number was back down to 0. Just remember that what you're going through can happen to anyone. It's not anything you dod or didn't do....we got pregnant again the very next month (not on purpose) and this pregnancy is progressing just fine. So, it also doesn't mean that you won't be able to try again. My thoughts are with you.

Go to your dr. immediately. Yes, miscarriages are very common but there can be serious risks. Better safe than sorry. If you cannot get to your dr then you need to go to the nearest emergency room. I have had 2 miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy so my Dr. has always told me to come in if any pain and/or bleeding occurs. I do have a beautiful daughter that gives me hope for more children. Let me know if you need to talk.

So sorry for your loss.

I would call the doctor and let them know. They'll want to see you to make sure everything is okay. Keep track of your bathroom visits. If you are using up a pad less than an hour, call the doctor or go to the Labor & Delivery section of the hospital. If you go to the ER, they may send you over to L & D, so try there first if you go.

Hugs.

So sorry you are going through this! I did myself. I was told not much they can do for you, but a few things...if you bleed more than a pad an hour for more than 3 hours, seek medical attention. Do not take a bath. Only shower...this is cause the body is dilating to shed & bath water could technically go in & cause an infection. Ibuprophen can help with cramping, but no tylenol or aspirin. If you run fever go in! Do not use tampons or impede the flow with a diva cup etc... It is awful, horrible & scary, but it should get better with time and if you have any other weird symptoms, seek help. If you have an incomplete miscarriage, that can be a problem. Hope this helps you get through tonight....I was 8 weeks & mine lasted about 12 hours.

Call the doctor! I hope you feel better. That must be so hard to go through, and so scary. I am sorry for your loss.

Been there. I'm so sorry, it does sound like miscarriage. Go to the ER. L&D can't help at such an early stage (that's what they told me on the phone when I was at 8 weeks). They'll take blood, mainly to get a beta-HCG level (hormone produced by the baby, it rises as the pregnancy progresses, falls if the pregnancy stops). Your doctor will want another blood draw in a few days to look at which direction the levels are going: down=lost pregnancy, even or up=things may be okay. They may also do an ultrasound at the ER to look for the gestational sac or even a heartbeat. They may see something or nothing at all. They may offer a D&C (outpatient surgical removal of all 'material'), I chose spontaneous, natural expulsion and did fine.
I hope for your sake and your baby's sake that it's not a miscarriage. My sister had heavy bleeding early on, doctor ordered her to bed and no exertion, and her son will be 3 this year. Only way to find out is to go to the ER now and start getting some answers.
